A Visit from Camdyn's Teachers

These fish were "won" by Claire when she was in Ms. Yarbrough's class so we had to show them we had kept them alive and kickin'!

Camdyn's 4K Teachers came by our house today for a get to know you visit! Camdyn and big sister Claire (who also had Ms. Yarbrough and Mrs. Spears) had a ball giving them a tour of our home and showing them some of their favorite things. Ms. Yarbrough and Mrs. Spears are wonderful, loving, nurturing role models for our girls and we feel so blessed that our family is able to work alongside them for the coming school year!

Camdyn's Bandana Outfit

Took a break from sewing the last few weeks so I decided to test out my memory and try finishing up Camdyn's bandana outfit today. I made her a swing top and shorts instead of the capri pants like I made for Claire. I'll post the pic of Claire's outfit too so both of them will be here!

Such a cute and CHEAP outfit to make using only four bandanas!

Cheer Camp

Claire and Cam finished a 4 day camp at Woodmont this week. They learned cheer drills, basic stunts, chants, and a team dance. They were each paired up with a varsity cheerleader who was their "big sis" for the week. Today they hosted a showcase of what they learned this week. The girls both loved it - think they both caught the cheerleading bug!

Brookwood County Fair

After my baptism, the Finley crew stayed for a bit and we let the kids enjoy the carnival rides at the Brookwood County Fair! So much fun for them!

Baptism

Sunday afternoon I received a believer's baptism at Brookwood Church. I am so grateful for my family and friends that attended this special time and for Nathan who was able to baptize me along with our Pastor Perry Duggar. Thank you to my family and friends for keeping me accountable, encouraging me in my faith, and coming along the journey as I seek to have a home and marriage that honors and glorifies God.

Jeremiah 6:16:

This is what the LORD says:
       "Stand at the crossroads and look;
       ask for the ancient paths,
       ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
       and you will find rest for your souls.

Alpha Delta Pi Convention

I have the honor and pleasure of serving as the Chapter Advisor for the Alpha Delta Pi Chapter at Clemson University. Last week I attended the 158th Grand Convention in Orlando, Florida. I am so proud of the women of our chapter not only for the outstanding awards they win, but also for the character of the women themselves and their continued commitment to serve in a leadership role within the chapter. Katie, Caroline, Morgan, and Sydney you are all wonderful women and I hope my girls grow up to be as smart, driven, and poised as each one of you! I had so much fun with you last week!
